People almost ALWAYS contract HSV 1 prior to contracting HSV 2, vs. the other way around. HSV 2 infection appears to be protective against acquiring new HSV 1 infection for reasons we do not fully understand. What was the date of your last sexual contact this summer?
You know, if you really want to be certain about this, you could get a western blot.
Have you spoken with the summer partner? He has been tested? That sure would be helpful information for you and your partner.
